Summary
This week’s conversation is with Greg Olsen, a football broadcaster for FOX Sports and former tight end who played in the NFL for 14 seasons.
During his time in the league, Greg was a three-time Pro Bowler, currently ranks fifth all-time among tight ends for receptions and receiving yards, and left the Carolina Panthers – where he spent a majority of his career – as the franchise’s all-time leading tight end in receptions receiving yards, and 100-yard receiving games.
Now – alongside his career as a sportscaster – Greg co-launched a media company, Audiorama, with its flagship podcast, Youth Inc., where Greg discusses the changing world of youth sports in America.
There is much more to Greg than meets the eye or what’s read on his NFL resumé.
The majority of this conversation is about what sits underneath his success. It’s about leading, learning, parenting, and how sport can play an integral role in our kids’ upbringing - but we also dive into how he and his family dealt with crisis – and did it in a way that was extremely public. I think you’re going to resonate on multiple levels with Greg – especially if you’re committed to living authentically – with high standards – and deeply connected to your loved ones.

| 0:26.1 | that suffering doesn't make you weird and makes you normal. |
| 0:38.8 | Welcome. I'm Dr. Michael Jervé and this is the Finding Mastery podcast where we learn from people |
| 0:44.2 | who challenge the edges and the reaches of the human experience in business and sport and science |

| 1:06.6 | Created by Dennis, duo makes the only natural whitening, earth-friendly tablet toothpaste that is |
| 1:13.1 | infused with vitamins and supplements. It's super easy. You just crush the tablet in your mouth, |
| 1:18.6 | wet your toothbrush and brush normally. It's great. I don't know how someone hasn't thought of this |
| 1:23.1 | before. I've been using the immunity formula and I love that I can get just a little bit of vitamin |
| 1:28.2 | D by brushing my teeth. Duo also offers innovative formulas like their energy tablet which |
| 1:34.1 | has vitamin B12 and a small dose of caffeine for brushing in the morning. Remember that caffeine |
| 1:40.2 | for most people is best served around 90 minutes after waking up, so that's how I use that one. |
| 1:45.5 | And they also have a sleep tablet which includes melatonin and althenian and of course their |
| 1:50.8 | original tablet for your baseline brush. Plus, they're better for the planet. Duo toothpaste tablets come |
| 1:58.3 | in recyclable glass bottles and refills arrive in compostable pouches. In an industry where it's |
| 2:04.3 | estimated that there are billions of toothpaste tubes that end up in the trash each year, |
